The MV88 Microphone Design
The MV88 features two capsules: one capsule has a cardioid pattern and picks up sound directly in front of the microphone.
The other is bidirectional and captures sound from the left and right sides.
Adjusting the Microphone
For accurate stereo recordings in any position, the front of the microphone must be pointed toward the sound source, with the
sides facing the appropriate orientation. Use the L and R indicators on the microphone barrel to ensure correct placement.
The microphone pivots and the barrel can be rotated 90 degrees to achieve desired positioning.
